The Nuggets return to Ball Arena, where they’ve been nearly unbeatable, while the Kings hit the road aiming to make a statement win against the defending champions.
The Nuggets have been dominant at home once again, driven by Nikola Jokić’s MVP-caliber play. The Serbian star continues to orchestrate the offense with unmatched precision, averaging near triple-double numbers while keeping Denver’s attack efficient and balanced.
Jamal Murray adds elite shot creation and spacing, while Cameron Johnson and Aaron Gordon provide versatility on both ends. Denver’s home form has been exceptional — averaging 118.4 points per game while holding opponents to 108.9 at Ball Arena.

Fox’s speed and ability to attack in transition remain elite, while Sabonis’ passing from the high post allows the Kings’ offense to flow smoothly.
